Green Briefs: Keeping Cool
Minimize your dependence on energy-hogging air conditioners by tackling heat the natural way first. Shade sunny windows with heat-blocking drapes or blinds inside, or a trellis and climbing plant on the outside. Open windows at night and install a fan in the attic to pull cool air into the house and push hot air out through the roof. And when you do use your A/C, make sure all your ducts are sealed well and only the vents you need are open!
